Chapter 151: Prince Ouyang Got Poisoned

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Murong Xue paused, in the past, people who did a deed of merit were all rewarded according to the Emperor's preferences. Why was it now that she was the one to make her own demands?

She glanced at Ouyang Shaochen quietly and saw his thick black eyebrows puckering up. It seemed that he did not understand the situation, either.

Murong Xue's eyes flashing, and she then lightly said to the Emperor, "Thank you for your recognition, Your Majesty. But I lack nothing, so I ask for nothing..."

"I've already granted you a right. If I take back my word, I would become the man without credit." The Emperor looked down from a height at her, with his eyes flashing.

"Well..." Murong Xue frowned tightly, "I can't think of any request for now..."

Looking at her embarrassing face, the Emperor's lips curved with a graceful radian which disappeared instantly, he then raised his voice, "Then you can make a request to me when you think it over...any request."

He purposely stressed the last two words, which shocked the Empress, concubines, and all civil and military officials present. The Emperor had given Murong Xue a great promise, she could get whatever she wanted, be it gold, silver, jewelries or power and status...

In a flash, all gazes mixed with envy, jealousy, nonrecognition, and anger, fell on Murong Xue...

Murong Xue, however, seemed unmoved, just smiled gently, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Her eyes narrowed slightly. The fire she set off did burn many water snakes and saved many civil and military officials and royal families.

However, the Emperor was generally protected by the imperial guards, who were all skilled in martial arts. Even if she had not set the fire, they could have protected the Emperor from leaving here in good condition. Strictly speaking, she was not the biggest contributor. If the Emperor wanted to give her a reward, some petty favors were enough. How could he make such a big promise?

In previous years, when dragon boat races were held on the Dragon Boat Festival, only one or two water snakes could be seen at most. This year, thousands of water snakes poured out all of a sudden, which was also completely incredible.

In particular, having disappearing for many years, those large, thick and long water snakes at least 10 years old showed up again. Why did they appear today and were crazy about pestering and biting people since this year had no big particularity...

Were there any hidden facts she did not know?

Suddenly, a shadow seemed passing by the corner of her eye, she looked up and saw a luxurious pleasure boat floating on the lake. A young man was standing at the hatch of the boat. He was dressed in a golden robe and had a handsome and evil appearance. It turned out the man was Prince Qin Haoyan from Mo Bei!

He looked at the high platform with a faint smile and gently put down the bead curtain. In the flash when the bead curtain hanging down, his eyes turned at Murong Xue, beaming with evil and strange lights. Murong Xue narrowed her eyes, Qin Hao Yan must be scheming something!

Murong Xue stood on tiptoe, and was ready to get up and go after him. At this moment, a small pale blue snake suddenly jumped out of the water, pouncing on Murong Xue as fast as lightning. With light fishy smell, the small snake's sharp teeth instantly approached her cheek, she wanted to dodge, but was already too late...

"Be careful!" Ouyang Shaochen grabbed the little snake with lightning speed. The little snake instantly turned into muddy flesh in his sudden clasped hands.
